Shannon Archaeological & Historical Society: Excavations in Ballyganner North - Elaine Lynch

In this talk, Elaine will guide us through the recent excavation in the Burren of two hut sites. These features form part of the rich archaeological landscape of the Noughaval area, in a reguin which features habitation from the Neolithic through to the modern era. This excavation primarily will shed light on early medieval Ireland, featuring a number of fascinating finds and human burials.
